Why? Because the system strikes a balance between good semantics (for SEO if you need to justify this commercially), expressing a design effectively and licensing typography legally for the web.
It's an improvement over Cufon/Sifr generally and the one downside it does have (rendering under non-mac) will get better soon and I'll have to do zero work to benefit from that (theoretically).
Plus I saved a lot of time (and cost for the client) getting from design to live site quickly. It's a small price to pay, given that most ppl won't care that much, and those that do, a good proportion will understand what the issue is.

If a site is designed well then the small detail of the font AA is easily missed, ignored or forgiven as the site is a joy to use/view. Quipsologies is a case in point. http://www.underconsideration.com/quipsologies/ http://www.underconsideration.com/quipsologies/ The slight clipping of their sub-heads under chrome is overlooked given beautiful layout and clear delivery of information.
